The Bunker

This is the 10th out of 11 Wales Interactive games I’ve played. They were all fun to play except this one. This isn’t really a choice-based game like the others. With the other games, you’re given at least two ways to respond to a situation and you get different outcomes based on your response. With this game, you choose objects to click on and if you pick the wrong one, the character tells you and you just pick another object. Not much choosing here. The objects you pick are mostly things to read like books, manuscripts, and computer screens. Boring. Other times, after choosing a door to open, you then have to click another dot to turn the door knob. Seriously, how is this choosing? I played up to the part where my character keeps falling off a ladder with no clear instructions on how to stop that from happening. A dot appears on the screen that I assume I’m supposed to press, but when I do, nothing happens. He still falls and you must replay the same, tediously long scene that takes him to the ladder over and over again. Boring. Because I liked the other games so much, I took a chance and paid $5 up front. I feel cheated because this game isn’t really a choice-based game like the others. And it’s boring!

The game was a fairly poor attempt at anything resembling a game. Your choices make little difference, if any, and the same ending occurs regardless of anything you do. The acting is subpar, particularly with the main character. He looks so weaselly and pathetic that I was almost rooting against him, hoping he’d find some new way to get injured or thwarted in his mission. The big “twist” is a yawn. I won’t give anything away, but prepare to be incredibly disappointed if you waste the money on this “game.” If you like FMV games, try “Her Story” instead. It at least gives you some semblance of gameplay, and the layout of it is pretty novel.

There's really no getting to this, it's more of just a movie with a little interaction. There's really no alternate endings and any decision you make really have no affect on the story. Actually There not decisions but continue buttons to the next scene disguised as decisions. Now if you want to watch a halfway decent indie short film then it's OK.
